Linkable is the simplest way to save and revisit links on your iPhone. Whenever you spot something worth reading, share it to Linkable in one tap, and it'll be waiting for you, neatly organized and searchable, whenever you're ready. Linkable is 100% free with no ads and no data collection. SAVE FROM ANYWHERE The built-in Share Extension lets you send any URL from Safari or any other app directly into Linkable — no copy-pasting required. ORGANIZE WITH TAGS Create color-coded tags to keep your links sorted exactly the way you think. Filter your list by one or more tags with a single tap, and flip between "All" and any combination instantly. READ YOUR WAY Every link opens in three modes you can switch between on the fly: Web View — the full live page, just like Safari. Reader Mode — strips away clutter and reformats the article as clean, distraction-free text. Offline Archive — save a snapshot of any page to read later, even when you're offline. POWERFUL SEARCH & SORT Full-text search across all your saved links. Sort by newest or oldest, and filter by estimated reading time so you always know what you can finish in the time you have. IMPORT YOUR LIBRARY Easily import your existing reading lists from Pocket or Instapaper to bring all your links into one private, local home. SPOTLIGHT INTEGRATION Your saved links surface right in iOS Spotlight search, so you can jump straight to any saved page without even opening the app. PRIVACY-FIRST No accounts. No trackers. No data collection. Linkable stores everything locally on your device. What you save is your business. Whether you're building a reading list, collecting research, or just saving things to come back to later, Linkable keeps them all in one place and out of your way until you need them.

Read full description

Bramble is a local-first password manager. Your passwords live in an encrypted vault on your device, not on someone else's server. There is no account to create and nothing phoning home. Everything cryptographic runs in a Rust core: Argon2id derives your key, AES-256-GCM encrypts your data, and envelope encryption gives every entry its own key. Site names, usernames, and notes are all encrypted, and secrets are wiped from memory after use. FEATURES - AutoFill passwords and one-time codes into apps and Safari, right from the keyboard. - Passkeys: create and sign in with passkeys, with Bramble as your own authenticator, for sites and apps that support them. - Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID, your master password, or a recovery code. - Store logins, payment cards, secure notes, and SSH keys, each with their own fields. - Built-in strong password generator. - TOTP / 2FA: add an otpauth URI or secret and Bramble generates the six-digit codes. - Import from KeePass (KDBX4), key files included. - Recovery code: a printable, high-entropy backup that unlocks your vault independently of your master password. - Optional breach check using k-anonymity, so nothing about your password leaves your device. - Auto-lock after inactivity. - Sync between your own devices peer-to-peer. No cloud, no relay holding your data. PRIVACY Bramble has no account, no subscription, and no telemetry. Your vault never leaves your control, and the code runs entirely on your device.
